Yesterday’s St David’s Day Run.....
Started from near Monmouth with RDV points en route. We joined in St Clears, west of Carmarthen rather than M4 Services at Penllergaer near Swansea, that meaning a drive in the wrong direction. Turned out to be a good choice!
RDV St C was by Travel lodge/Starbucks. We arrived in plenty of time so in for a coffee and met another couple there, the last two cars from a total of 10. Then a phonecall. The others were stuck on the A48 approach to Carmarthen Pensarn roundabout. Yesterday there was a fatal rtc that took out the traffic lights so tailbacks. We got through from a different direction easily. Hour and a half stuck due to traffic queue and no alternative exit. We had another coffee while waiting.
Journey onwards on the A40 was ok but roadworks slowed things, Robeston Wathen by-pass still being built ( delays caused by poor admin stopping work whilst land buying payments were not made so legal action under way) rain/hail showers but from Newgale it cleared up. Light lunch in the refectory in the Cathedral.
The delays meant a change of plan from then. Some travelled home, a few of us went to Llandovery for a meal in the King’s Head. We had to divert to pop home before meeting there. So, next problem for the rest was closure of the A482 for resurfacing. Another detour for them so we arrived at the pub just before them. Nice food then drive home.
It was good meeting some new people who were on their first runs down West. Also saw Denis in his new Plus Six, replacement for his S1 Aero.
Tentative plans for more runs made for this year so more exploring to find new places planned. There aren’t many left these days but should be fun exploring.
A big DOH! Though, no photos!
Must do better.
